I was cleaning on top of the refrigerator the other day and realized I never showed you one of the "goodies" I brought back from Horton of Tipton's.
It's a metal bottle rack that is just perfect for my extra "company" coffee mugs. I had been looking for one for a while and it was so reasonable I had to treat myself.
It's the perfect thing for above my fridge. It's such a weird space. Do you have a hard time decorating above yours?
I've seen a lot of people in blogland do come creative things with them for display as well, but for now it's perfect just doing it's job.

Ah yes, the top of the fridge. We have no cupboards there so I put an old plate rack there filled with bowls and stuff. I really like your mug (holder?) it looks old and antique - great scale and a touch of whimsy!
Looks good with the clock tagging along side ~ but I'm just LoVing the 2-tier white compote stand!!!
Jeanine, ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!
were supposed to decorate above the fridge too???? yikes. hehehe. i love that mug rack. it looks perfect up there.
I bought one a while back. I use it to hold supplies on spools like ribbons.
I just love the bottle rack! Looks great up there! I use mine to store ribbons and scissors in my office. I feel luck to have a fridge that is recessed into the wall!!
LOVE that piece!
That is really cool, Horton's is just down the street form me, well it's about 25 min. north of where I live. I love everything in this shop. Are you going to the spring open house?
Love that idea! I never thought about decorating that space! Enjoying your blog! Love, Me

A wonderful spot for a drying rack! It looks great in that space. And yes, I'm always at a loss as to what to place on the fridge...
Have a great day

I love your new little cup rack. As for me and decorating the top of my fridge....I use to. Now that we just purchased our new fridge I'm enjoying to clean crisp look so far. Give me some time though and I'm sure I will have it all gussied up for sure :)
I love that! Thanks for the idea! I will be getting a new set of Corelle dishes soon, and I will need something to do with the new mugs since I will have too many for my cupboard.
Love it and your vignette is wonderful. Hugs, Marty
What a nice cup holder. Looks perfect up there. The top of our refrigerator is just a catch all. Maybe I'll work on that today.
I don't think I have ever cleaned that space let alone decorated it! A bit of spring fluffing in order - thanks for the reminder. Your looks gorgeous btw!
It's so pretty!
I put all my paper towels up above my fridge in the cabinet so I can't really decorate but I would like too :)
I think you used the space on your frig well.It is such a great piece to display.Have a great day and keep warm there.Brrr ..I watch the weather channel and being since my son and friends live there in Dixon it is cold.Chickie
Hi Jen, My husband bought me the same bottle rack for Christmas. I have my small collection of ironstone creamers hanging on mine. The top of the fridge is always a hard place to decorate but your bottle rack looks wonderful there.
i love these racks...i've never seen a small one like this...what a great find and it looks perfect on top of your 'fridge!
That looks great on top of your fridge. I have one on order and haven't received it yet but I am seeing great display ideas all over blogville.

Do bags of pita chips count as decorations? Because if they do, then I have no problem decorating that area.
; )
The top of the fridge is always a sore spot in my kitchen. I can never figure it out. I think the bottle rack looks perfect on yours. Now if only I had a bottle rack of my own! LOL
Hi Jen!
I'm not sure if I ever posted about how much i LOVE your kitchen but I do.... including this little area above your fridge. I have looked at your kitchen photos many times... thx for the welcome back, too. :)

I couldn't remember who had mentioned Horton's and I am glad you said something. I owe you a big thank you for letting all of us readers in on this gem. Although I live in Orange County, California, my aunt just moved to a town about 30 minutes from Horton's. When you talked about it at Christmas I did a google maps dealy and then emailed her straight away. She visited that very week and it has become a frequent destination for her and my uncle. (She mentioned there is a great used book store nearby too!) So thank you from Indiana, via Southern California, via your comments section! I love the internet!
And I love that mug rack. I have been on the hunt, but I can't find any that are reasonably priced. Love how it looks on your fridge. Brills.
I have one too that holds all my white teacups....love it. I actually just did a post about the rack - i just got one for my mom from Wisteria thats 3 1/2 feet tall. I got it for a steal! Stop by and check out my post :)
It would be fun to have a 'top of the fridge' blog party and have everyone send in pics of their currently- no pre styling alowed! You've done a great job and I love your new treaure.
xo!

this is such a delicious find! I love that it is being used for its intended purpose...for now at least eh? A great touch for up in that hard to do spot!
Looks great up there to me like you said extra cups for company
I have wanted one of those however they are very pricy $$$.$$ the ones I have seen
Janice
Looks great. I have a HUGE turquoise birdcage on my fridge:-)
the top of the fridge is hard...the bottle rack looks great up there.

I love that rack! It looks great with the clock. The top of my fridge needs a makeover!!
Looks great Jen! I love tht first shot!!!
xo
:) T
Oh Jen I have wanted one of those for soooooooooo long...I love how yours looks...we now have our microwave on our fridge...which is not pretty but it works!!!! Talk soon..xo
Hi Jen, Your vintage piece holding the mugs is perfect for the top of the fridge. I am so glad that our fridge is built in, that is such a difficult place to decorate and if you need to get into those cupboards, everything has to be moved.
I love the turquoise jars up there, too.
Hugs, Cindy
i must get one of those!!!!! my top of the fridge is soooo hard to decorate i have nada right now,
xo,

Love that bottle rack, Jenn! And what a perfect place for it. I've seen more and more of those neat racks here in blogland. I wonder what they were originally used for? Anyway, the top of my frig is clear of anything. Since it's such an awkward space, I just leave it uncluttered.....or maybe I'm just too lazy to decorate it..... lol!
xoxo laurie
That is a great bottle rack....I keep seeing those around the blogs lately! I think yours is perfect on top the fridge! I have the most random things stacked on top of mine~ a basket full of (therefore hiding) odds and end tupperware containers, a pink wooden big, and a colander.
~michelle~
that is so cute! perfect for the mugs! i have a cupboard above my fridge and just have a small space. one of my trays fits perfectly! enjoy the day! susan
Wow thats cool, and what a perfect place to put it.
I have cookbooks with some really cute french country rooster bookends holding them.
My daughter and I went to Horton's Thanksgiving weekend after reading about it in your blog. We had a great time and wanted to buy one, okay - two - of everything we saw. I only live about 20 minutes from Tipton - so I plan to be a frequent visitor - Hope to see you there sometime! Thanks!
I love it!! All that's “decorating” the top of my fridge are my dog's incontinence pill containers. You’re welcome for that. ;-)
